I have recently downloaded a trial version of YourKit and after playing with it for a while it looks great, but I am concerned about running it in the production environment. Previous profilers I have used have put unacceptable overhead on the servers.
Does anyone know the typical overhead of the YourKit software? Or has anyone had any problems running YourKit in a production environment?
I am running YourKit for Java. The server I am profiling is RedHat running JBoss 4.
I have used yourkit in production but on a tomcat server. It works pretty well and we didn’t noticed any major performance overheads.
We had many instances of Tomcat server running behind a load balancer. So we put yourkit on one of the servers and things work out pretty well.
